Some quality stuff there... especially like the Player Stats - realise it's a big ask, but I don't suppose you could share some of the code?

Hamma · 2013-02-22, 08:42 AM

Our code has all sorts of PSU specific functions and stuff mixed in. Dreadnaut's code though may be more adaptable

During beta I'll be refining the code to be stand alone and bundle it all up for users. Not exactly sure how that bundle process will work just yet, but we'll have it sorted out pretty soon.

It might be something as simple as adding a script tag wherever you want the data to appear on your own site.

Work in progress!

I've just published an initial preview of http://outfitpoints.com

It's designed to be a toolkit for outfit management, so whilst it does include a standard sort able outfit list, the main benefit is the graphical outfit statistics to help understand what is happening with your outfit.

There's a lot more work to do, many more stats to graph, but this is just a preview.

So, I whipped this up real quick last night just to re-familiarize myself with php and JSON. It is not following best practices in some places, and there are some things I could do more efficiently.

Anyways, I am not seeing any code up in here and I thought it might be nice to post some for people who want an example to start learning this.

The Site.

The Code:

Code:

<html>
Auric Eclipse Test Page
</br></br>

<?php
	$jsonOutfit = file_get_contents("http://census.soe.com/get/ps2-beta/outfit/37509488620602205?c:resolve=member");
	$aearray = json_decode($jsonOutfit, true);
	$outfit_list = $aearray["outfit_list"];
	$members = $outfit_list[0]["members"];
	$memberIDs;
	$memberData;
	$memberSpecifics;
	
	date_default_timezone_set('America/Vancouver');
	
	foreach($members as $key => $value)
	{
		//echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br />\n";
		$memberIDs[$key] = $value["character_id"];
	}
	
	foreach($memberIDs as $key => $value)
	{
		$query = "http://census.soe.com/get/ps2-beta/character/{$value}?c:show=name.first,times.last_login";
		$memberData[$value] = json_decode(file_get_contents($query), true);
	}
	
	foreach($memberData as $key => $value)
	{
		$memberSpecifics[$key] = array("ID" => $key, "last_login" => $value["character_list"][0]["times"]["last_login"], 
						"name" => $value["character_list"][0]["name"]["first"]);
	}
	
	//var_dump($memberSpecifics);
	
	function cmp($b, $a)
	{
	    return strcmp($a["last_login"], $b["last_login"]);
	}
	
	usort($memberSpecifics, "cmp");
	
	echo "<table border=1>";
	echo "<tr><td><b>Name</b></td><td><b>Last Login</b></td></tr>";
	foreach($memberSpecifics as $key => $value)
	{
		if($value["name"] == true)
		{
			echo "<tr>";
			$last_login_time = $value["last_login"];
			$last_login_time_hr = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $last_login_time);
			
			echo "<td>{$value['name']} </td><td> {$last_login_time_hr} </td>";
			//echo "</br>{$value['name']}';
			echo "</tr>";
		}
	}
	echo "</table>";
?>

My tools are mostly unfinished works-in-progress at the moment. May contain half-finished features and bugs:
Resource tracker/reminder
http://www.machine-code.com/ps2api/resourcereminder.php

Live kill/death feed
http://www.machine-code.com/ps2api/killfeed.php

Very cool! I was hoping for things like this to help people getting started.

Changed your post to php tags

Sinjhin · 2013-02-24, 11:50 PM

I originally had my post as PHP, but the square brackets are coming up as ***93 and ***91.

Damn you vBulletin!

My code is woven into Joomla with strands of spaghetti so I'll just do my best to provide snippets in answer to questions.

Here are a few topics I'm happy to help with and provide code snippets on request:

Caching JSON in mySQL to improve response times
Using GDlib and workarounds for transparency issues
Methods for allowing customization of signature templates

If you're doing libraries for others to use, my suggestions as follows:

NodeJS -> bundle it as an npm package
PHP -> bundle it as a composer package
